** Towards Juve - Udinese

Juventus championship goes on without any breaks. After a nice win against Ascoli and the unlucky Italian Cup challenge against Roma, Capello's team gets back on the Delle Alpi pitch against Udinese on the fourth match-day of the second-leg turn. It will surely be a lively and sparkling match: Udinese needs precious points and playing a good match against the team ranked first in the league would be useful to relaunch the ambitions of the team. The team of Cosmi is one that plays at its best on away games. In fact, on ten matches played away from Friuli, Udinese achieved three victories and two ties, for a total of eleven points. Exactly four less then those conquered at home, where the matches played were twelve. In the last match against Fiorentina, Cosmi's team showed of having determination and character. Udinese tricked the Fiorentina attack playing for more than an hour with ten players only, after the expulsion of Baronio, and also going close to being in advantage with a very lively Di Natale.

The first-leg match, dated 21st September 2005, was extremely riveting and ended with Juventus winning 1-0, thanks to a crucial goal scored at the 37' by Vieira on his second game in the championship. In order to come back from the Friuli stadium with three points, Capello's team had to grit its teeth. In the second half Udinese tried in everything to draw and the spectacular and efficient save by Abbiati was made necessary. He was in fact able to save the result with a prompt reaction, drifting away with the heel of the foot Vidigal's head trick. The challenge is thus a promise of a great show, with Udinese looking for points and Juventus, unconquerable within its friendly walls. Juventus is the only A Series team that has always won at home and it is now looking for the twelfth consecutive win at the Delle Alpi in this championship against Udinese.
